When connecting Zone Controllers, in series, the following cable length restrictions apply:

•If using a single ZC, the ZC may be connected directly to the DriveRack 260. The maximum cable length for a single ZC connected to the DriveRack 260 cannot exceed 1000 feet.

•As shown in Diagram A, any (3) Zone Controllers may be wired in series as long as the total cable length does not exceed 600 feet.

•Any (6) Zone Controllers may be wired in series as long as the total cable length does not exceed 300 feet. Refer to Diagram B.

•Cable runs of up to 1,000 feet may be achieved using “Home Run” wiring. An example of this is shown in Diagram C. A dbx Zone Controller Break Out Box (dbx ZC-BOB) is used to parallel several cable runs (up to six).

Note: The preceding cable lengths were achieved using Cat5 Enhanced cable exhibiting a maximum D.C. resistance of 29 Ohms per 1,000 feet. Daisy chaining ZCs off the ZC-BOB is not recommended or supported.
